Hey! I am using ANSYS to calculate a view factor and radiative heat fluxes. In the solution it says:

VIEW FACTOR CALCULATION COMPLETE

 WRITING VIEW FACTORS TO FILE file0.vf                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
 VIEW FACTORS WERE WRITTEN TO FILE file0.vf                         

 

 

But I can not find this file anywhere on my computer, and it does not seem that it exists. If someone can help me export the solution in a way that this file is written and I can see the view factor, that would be a huge help.

View factors tend to be written to the working folder. If you're in Workbench I'm not sure where this will turn up though. Have a look for .s2s.gz files. I have no idea what a .vf file is, unless you're not using Fluent?
